Dan Frakes (MacWorld) reviewed this on MacGems on 10 NOV 09 giving it 4 mice. Read the review here: http://www.macworld.com/article/143770/2009/11/folderglance.html?lsrc=nl_mwgems_h_crawl

Only issue seemed to be price. Mupromo takes that problem away.

There is no need of purchasing this tool. Snow Leopard has already fully integrated this feature within the OS.

Furthermore, the pop-up's within the OS are transparent, which looks even better!

Also, why would I have to integrate this tool within PathFinder? PathFinder has a path-navigator itself! The path-navigator is smart implemented and recommend.

Therefore, this tool is not worth a cent - just useless.

Cheers

I've been using FolderGlance since waiting for FinderPop to be fully Snow Leopard compatible.

I'm already a huge fan and am very impressed with its versatility.

@RDrL85

Care to elaborate how 10.6 has this functionality?

UPDATE: It only works in Finder so no good with Pathfinder.

Pathfinder doesn't have this feature (which would be good sometimes) but has many others that I would miss way too much to go back to finder with this :(

@vancouver2010,

Have you tried FinderPop's beta versions? I think they're SL compatible.

Turly has said that FP is "the only utility with a gestation period longer than an elephant’s!" but still he has provided many beta versions by now, with a brief interruption when he had his accident.
